Hello MangoThis is Zippy tiel, running for BOTM next month with a castle lore theme. I would like to ask a few questions to help me with my run. Did you campaign, and what was it? Did you make any improvements to the castle? Did any significant events occur during your reign? Thank you. Zippy

I told ONE PERSON about the new kids name and sex, and someone had the nerver to BRIBE Uncle Chuck with a case of Jack Daniels for the information. I have to send pops out shopping for a roll of duck Tape. Personally, he should have held out for two cases. BOY is he ever easy. hee hee. Tweet

They gave us the pyramids, Cleopatra ---and Mother's Day. One of the earliest records of the holiday can be found among ancient Egyptians, who held an annual festival to honor the goddess Isis, known as the mother of the pharaohs.

But the day wasn't signed into national observance in the U. S. until 1914.

Don't feel bad --- it took another 52 years for Father's Day to become official.

Hello Mango~I hope everything is going great! I am busy today supervising the cleaning up of the Christmas stuff! It's time for the usual stuff to come back onto the mantel! Mom has 2 grey doves up there and they stayed all the way thru the fall and winter decorations. We love those grey doves. The wreath is now down and the clock will got back up! I hope your day is perfect! Stomping out a vote and sending hugs your way! Love ya ~ Sugar

Heya, Mango!Wanted to let you know I was thinking about you when I was at Mango the Lory's page. How are you doing? Heard you were not feeling well and wanted to see if you were feeling any better. I sure hope so! Wanted to also wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, too. Whaddaya think about the Packers? And hope you had nice weather where you are....

Hello Mango~I hope your day is going great! I've got sunshine but it's still cold out there. I've had my fruit snack and now I'm going to continue working on a lovely wood toy that is hanging in my play cage. I wish I had something interesting to share today but we are just doing the usual stuff. Wanted you to know I was thinking about you today! Stomping out a vote and sending hugs your way! With love ~ Sugar

Nice photo, MangoWith all my heart I thank you all. Let me tell you about my first day....Mom finally got me all calmed down for my perch...the sleepy time tea was marvelous...and it seemed I'd just dropped off when all of a sudden all this confetti was landing all over me and Cookie was telling me to wake up that I was now the new Queen! And Cookie being Cookie you can't ignore him... hehe. So up I get and Sidney gets me all ready making sure my feathers are perfect...finding a few lovely shiny pieces of confetti...and I'm ushered outside where I find the most beautiful carriage waiting for me. Cookie helps Sidney cover me with the softest cape and blanket I have ever felt. And they said they were mine for always too. I look around and Popeye is there with a big smile and tells me to sit back and enjoy. I asked Cookie and Sidney to join me on my ride to the castle. I knew Cookie was cutting paper for a while but I don't know where he got it all!! He was tossing confetti all the way to the castle!! Yeah, ALL the way! It did make me feel special though. We get to the castle and Cookie is first out to give me a wing out of the carriage while Sidney straightened out the cape behind me. I'm led to the throne room where Zak stands with his beak in as big a grin as I've seen. TiPaul takes my wingtip and leads me up to the throne (which looks like a thimble next to Zak's) and Zak then turns the castle over to me. I asked he stay beside me and also to remain in the castle since he wasn't able to enjoy his month much. His smile got even BIGGER! Didn't think it could but it did. Although it is my month he is going to stay and build a rehab room. This should be wonderful. I will be throwing my Ball probably Monday since dad says he's got plans this weekend. The theme is BIG BAND I hope I'll see you there.--Queen Punkin

Hello Mango~Hope your day was a good one! Nothing exciting going on around here! Mom is off tonight but she is so tired that we are not getting much done. We pulled some of the Christmas stuff out but we've haven't put anything out yet. Mom usually waits until December gets here before she puts anything up. Stop by my page when you can to check out the picture I've got up! Jen started the Zon Girl Gang and Aunt Denise made us a picture! She's so fabulous! It' Jen, Maxie, Macalune and me! We look pretty good if I may say so myself! I hope you are doing well! Wanted you to know I was thinking about you! Have a great evening! Sleep tight and sweet dreams! Love you ~ Sugar

Hi ya Mango~Dropping off a vote and a hug! I hope you are feeling better. Still saying prayers for you and I hope everything is going well. Nothing exciting to report from here. We got a lot of stuff in the fridge and mom says there will be corn bread too!YAY Enjoy your day! Love you ~ Sugar

Hi MangoPunkin stopping by to ask how you're feeling and to give a kiss and hug to you. Also to drop off my story...WHAT IS HE HINTING OR SOMETHING?... part 16...Yep, Jay, skin sis' hubby, said he wanted to take mom and dad house hunting today.SEE YA LATER GUYS! AH quiet! We don't mind the kids now but it is still nice not having them run and all. I mean, after all, even Sophie is quiet for now. This warmth sure makes me sleepy. *YAWN* Needless to say, we all enjoyed a great day and our wild cousins keep coming closer. One will even get right in front of our cage and eat what we toss out to her. She's still a chick and is quite talkative.She's been telling us all about this neighborhood and what we can expect. She's really sad to hear we aren't moving in for good. We told mom we wanted to adopt her but mom says that she's a healthy little girl and will be just fine in the wild. Well mom and them get home after being gone nearly the full day and they don't look happy. Guess we stay around here a bit longer. Thanks for the vote and here's hugs --Punkin
